Well the Bruins can close it out tonight, and to be honest I think they will do it. The Canadiens just seem to have no life in them, and the Bruins are only going to be stronger with a now very fired up Lucic. The Bruins have not won a playoff series since 1999, but this year they have a well built team that really has nor glaring weakness.
The key will be the Bruins once again surviving the 1st period. The Canadiens will come out breathing fire, since their backs are against the wall. So, the Bruins just need to stay with them, especially through the first 10 mins. After that I expect the Bruins to take over. I don't know how many people have noticed, but the Bruins have stopped playing the style of offense where where stick handle into the zone. Instead they are playing good old fashion dump and chase, which has been wearing down the Canadiens on the boards.
Boston needs to keep taking advantage of their size and strength. Sure the Bruins goals won't be pretty like the Canadiens, but what Bruins team ever have? Good old fashion dump and chase, solid goaltending, and crashing the nets is what these Bruins are all about. Hopefully they can finish it up tonight.
Game is at 7pm on NESN.
